Simplified Wreck Survey
The wreck site of the Anne Marie is located at coordinates 48 52.44 N, 3 31.09 W off the coast of Brittany, France. Historically cataloged as a non-dangerous wreck, the status of the Anne Marie has been subject to multiple updates in hydrographic records. Initial surveys documented the vessel at a mean depth of 41 meters, noting a substantial size estimated at over 50 meters in length or exceeding 1000 tons. Following conflicting reports regarding the vessel name—with variations including Anna Marie and Annie Marie—and subsequent removal from several French navigational charts, the wreck has been officially listed as dead or deleted from active maritime obstruction records. This underwater obstruction remains a point of interest for historical mapping and maritime data analysis in the region.
